Who We Are

AppOnboard’s Services allow publishers to display these demos within an App store, such as the Google Play Store for Android users. When our playable demos (“App Store Playable Demos”) are displayed by publishers, users can try out Apps before purchasing or downloading them to determine whether the App is of interest.

AppOnboard’s Services also allow publishers to show their demos as advertisements within other Apps as part of an advertising network offered by AppOnboard (“Playable Advertisements”). These Playable Advertisements allow the creators of the advertised Apps to reach audiences that may be interested in their Apps. These ads also allow the publishers of the Apps that host the ads to generate revenue, enabling these publishers to reduce charges for their Apps or offer them for free.

AppOnboard’s collection and use of your personal data varies based on how you interact with our Services. In order to help you find the information in this Policy that is most relevant to you, you should navigate to the sections that describe how you interact with AppOnboard and the AppOnboard Services.

How and Why We Use Personal Data

App Store Playable Demos

The Information We Collect

When you interact with an App Store Playable Demo, we collect information about your device and the demo you view or interact with. Generally, the AppOnboard Services do not collect information that identifies you directly (for example, we do not collect information such as your name, user name, email address, or a mailing address). We will not combine this information with any information that identifies you without your express consent.

When you interact with an App Store Playable Demo, we collect:

Information about your device such as the type and model, manufacturer, operating system version (e.g., Android Pie 9.0), device language setting, carrier name, IP address, mobile browser, and identifiers assigned to your device, such as its Android Advertising ID.

Information about how you interact with the demo such as whether you interacted with it, where and how you clicked on it (e.g., tap vs. swipe), and what elements or features of the ad you clicked on or otherwise interacted with.

How We Use the Information We Collect

We use the information we collect from App Store Playable Demos for the following purposes:

To provide, maintain, secure, and improve the AppOnboard Services and to develop new services;

To identify and prevent improper or fraudulent behavior; and,

To allow publishers to determine the effectiveness of their App Store Playable Demos on App purchases or downloads.

In some cases, for certain purposes, your consent may be required prior to collecting or using your data for these purposes. In those cases, we will obtain consent directly from you before using the information for that purpose.

How We Share the Information We Collect

AppOnboard may share the data we collect from App Store Playable Demos with certain third parties for lawful purposes. Generally, we share this data in an aggregated or de-identified format. We do not share device-level data unless directed to do so by the controller of the data (usually the publisher of the Playable Demo) or as required by law.

Sharing with Publishers of the Demo App

AppOnboard may share aggregate information collected from App Store Playable Demos with the publishers of the App in the Demo, such as how End Users interacted with their demos. We share this information with them for reporting purposes and so that they can improve their products, services, and the demos they publish through the AppOnboardServices.

AppOnboard does not share device-level data with the publisher unless the publisher, in its role as the controller of the data, directs us to do so for the sole purpose of evaluating the performance of the Playable Demo. This data generally does not identify you directly.

Sharing with Service Providers

We may sometimes use other businesses (“Service Providers”) to perform certain services for us or on our behalf, such as analytics, messaging, payment processing, hosting and maintenance, and data storage and management services. We provide our Service Providers with the information reasonably necessary for them to perform the services on our behalf. Each Service Provider must agree to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information involved in order to protect your information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.
